Perhaps you would not be a good candidate for a comparison :lol: but you could still do the exercise and compare the percentage difference. The point is that make and take home are 2 different numbers and take home is much less than we really realize.

Your right, I make well over 100k, but I bring home less than 100k after everything. I'm sure you think that you are paid an appropriate amount of money, why don't you figure out what you make plus all your benefits and see where you stand after that.

Add up what you make an hour/salary plus all your benefits and see what you work out as. I work for myself so I have to pay for everything myself and I see where it all goes. I make more than twice as much as those guys per hour and I bring in less than $100k a year, but I have to pay my own...

The U.S. automakers are making an average of $39.00 an hour for all pay and benefits, the foreign ones are averaging $35.00 an hour for pay and benefits. Figure that they work 40 a week, 52 weeks a year and that brings the total to just over $81k a year. Slightly less than the over $100k...

While you and I probably agree that unions have for the most part outlived their usefulness here in the United States, they still fight for the rights of the workers. I disagree that unions are able to hold companies hostage while on strike for things like pay and benefits, but sometimes they...

The 2 of them did not save the company from failure; they were the leaders who were in charge when they enacted the debt restructuring plan to convert debt notes. They had 4.8 billion in debt that they converted into stocks that equaled approximately 50% the total dollar amount. The workers...

Well the top 2 company men (Mulally and Ford Jr.) just pulled in 56.2 million and 42.4 million respectively for bonuses, so it does seem to be like the unions are asking for way more than they deserve.

Where are you getting gas? The most I saw today down there was $3.79 for premium at the Shell on Military road, which is alway at least 0.10 more than other top tier stations.

That is awesome, but I have feeling that I will be wasting even more time on the computer now
